THE DIPHTHERIA CURE.
SurgeonI
llepart of J. J. Hlnyoun to Surgeon
General Wyman of the Savy.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 8.--Of particular )
I nterest at this time is the report
made to Surgeon General Wyman of
the navy by Dr. J. J. Kinyoun , the
mar'.ne hospital surgeon , tyke , at the
invitation of Professor Roux , investigated -
gated the methods employed at the
Pasteur institution , Paris , in the
preparation of the ugly cure for
diphtheria.
Dr. Kinyoun sacs that after spending -
ing amonth at the institute he had
seen sufficient to enable him to form
an intelligent estimate of the value
of the discovery. More is to be said
in its favor than was claimed for it by
Professor Rout is his paper on the
subject before the international con-
g ress of hygiene and demography ,
held at Luda Pesth in September.
The report gives in detail the steps
necessary in the preparation of the
aerum antitoxine which include , first ,
the preparation of the toxines of
diphtheria ; second , the immunization
o : animals ; third , preservation of and
c onservation of thesermn. The manner
ner of producing immunity in an animal -
mal may be performed in one or two
ways-by injections of the toxines or
by inoecnlatioas of the bacilli.
The former method has been found
to be the best and at
present is life only one in use. In
the experiments of Professor Roux
and Dr. Martin , animals of all kinds
were used , but now they use the
horse , as it has been found to be the
mostsatisfactory.
Of the eighty-two cases which came
under Dr. Rinyaun's observation three
died. The statistics show that there
has been a gradual diminuition of
mortality since last May.
The report continuing , says : "The
efficacy of the serum is better shotun
in the tracheotomies than in all
others. The mortality under the
usual conditions has been from 1589
to 1594 , something frightful to con-
template. Fully eighty-five per cent
of the little patients have succumbd.
Since the commencementof the serum
treatment the death rate has been
lowered to less that forty-seven
per cent and the cases upon
which tracheotomy must be per-
f ormed are fetter and fewer.
It is now possible to immunize the
reagents of the disease. Unfortunately -
ately tllo immunity is not of long du-
ration. The longest time in which it
is thought to be protective is sit
weeks , one injection being sufficient.
The future possibilities in this condition -
tion cannot be overestimated , as we
have in the scrum the almost absolute
preventive of epidemics of dipil
theria. "

THE GOLD RESERVE.
A Loss of Over a iClliloa and a Half in
One Day.
WAsHNGTON , Dec. 8.-The cash balance -
ance in the treasury yesterday was
$ 154,727,065 , of which $109,560,123 was
net gold. This is a loss in gold since
Wednesday's report of $1,581,597.
The treasury officials offer no explanation -
planation of this increase , but the information -
formation comes from New York that
during the last tutee days the sub.
treasury has several times been
obliged to meet demands for gold in
exchange for legal tenders , but so
far as known here none of the gel d a
withdrawn has 'been exported. The
present high rate of sterling exchange
( $4.88) ) makes it probable , however ,
that before the close of the present
week considerable amounts will be
withdrawn for export to France ,
where the demand just now is greater
than in England. The treasury offi-
calsdecline to discuss the probability
ty of extensive withdrawals , but it is
believed that they feel apprehensive
of still further losses.

Dead Body in a Buggy.
MINNE.troras , Minn. , Dec. 11. - If
the concession voluntarily made by
Claus A. Blist , the janitor of the I'arh
IIatsn the presence of Mayor Eustis.
the county attorney and the chief of
police , yesterday , is true , Harry ' ' .
Hayward fired the shot that killed
Catherine Ging , and Blixt aided kiln
in disposing of the body. The story
of the horrible crime is related by
Blixt as follows :
When the scheme of killing Hiss
Ging ryas broached lIayward told him
that hr killing her he tcouLl regain
possession of $7,000 which he had
given her , and , in addition , would
make e10,000 , as she had ' willed" her
life insurance to him. lie offered
Blixt one fifth of the amount if he
w ould commit the deed. BLxt [ still
1'CfllSefl to iiztve anything to do with
the clime and threatened to quit thou
and there. whereupon IlaytvLrd slated
h e would do it himself , saying : " [
wonlrl as soon kill her as 1 would a
clog. "
llayward's first plan after he con.
eluded to commit the clime himself
was outlined to Blist ' 1'lterc was in
the basement a T rail about two feet
111 length and ] fat Hold directed the
janitor to cut this in two , stating he
would take hiss Gin ; riding where
no one would see him with her.
After he struclk her over the head
with the iron bar , which he would
carry concealed under his coot , he
t hen intended to throw the body out
of the buggy against a curbstone ,
start his horse on : L gallop and then
tell the story of a runaway accident ,
he calculating that the body would
appeal to have been thrown floor the
buggy when it collided with the
curb ,
On Saturday night , after the second
ride , Hayward returned to the flats
and told Blixt that the right opportunity -
tunity had not occurred. On Monday
night Hayward met 13lixt and by
threats and persuasions and promises
of inoucy induced him to be a partner
in the crime , to the extent of aiding
in the disposal cf the body , and make
it easy for lIaytvard to commit the
crime , so that it would appear that he
could not have been the guilty party.
Hayward directed lilixt to await his
coming at a point designated. At
exactly a quarter to 7 Hayward was
in the hall of the fiats and Blist
opened the door. Hayward said :
" Now hurry up and get down there.
Everything is all ready. "
Blixt followed out his instructions
to the letter. He had been there
about five minutes when he heard a
shot and saw a carriage approach.
As it drew up he recognized ltayward
as the driver. Ifactvard said to him :
. ' It is all done. Jump in and drive
Flovly and give me plenty of ticne'to
get back to town , and do not leave
her until you are sure she is dead. "
H ayward got out of the buggy and
Bllxtgot in.
The woman u-as on the left hand
side and the laprobe was thrown over
her , completely covering her , from
which it is evident that before firing
the fatal shot Hayward pulled the
robe up and held it so as to prevent
the possibility of any blood spurting
onto his clothes , and to protect himself -
self from the blood spots afterward
o
while driving along the road. Blixt
did not loot : at the woman , and the
only way that he inferred she was
d ead was because she did not move.
He drove alone the Excelsior road to
point , he says , about one
mile beyond where the body
was found , then turning around p
he drove back over the road.
Upon reaching the spot where
the body was found , he stopped , and ,
alighting from the buggy , passad
about behind it to the left side. { le
says he pulled the woman's feet out
of the buggy box , and that the body
slid of its own weight , and the lap
robe came with it. Ile then jumped
into the buggy and drove up the Ex-
elsior road to Lake street to a point
between Dupont street and Emerson
acenne , where he alighted , threw the
reins over the dashboard , started the
horse and stepped to the walk and
walked to Lyndalc avenue , where he
tools a Lyndale car into the city.
Blixt called the mayor and chief of
police to his cell several hours after
the previous confession had been
made. He note says that he fired the \
tal shot himself.

AN ENLIGHTENED NATION.
Japan So Recognized hlatv Treaty
With T1114 Country.
IYAsmxOTON , Dec. 11.-The full tex t
of the ugly treaty between the United
States and Japan has been the main
subject of comment to diplomatic and
official circles today. The treaty
shows how fully the United States ha s
accorded Japan the recognition she
has now as an enlightened , modern
nation. All previous treaties have
been based on the theory that the
relics of Eastern barbarism still re -
main in Japan. Accordingly , she
was not allowed to conduct her glen
courts or to make her own tariff laws ,
but special treaty regulations were
made to protect American litigants
and American commerce in Japan , on
the presumption that the native laws
would not afford adequate protection.
Running throughout the new treaty
are the concessions recognizing her
courts and laws as ample for Americans -
cans as well as natives. This is the
chief feature of the treaty.
The right of Japan to snake her
o wn tariff laws is also recognized.
Heretofore the United States has been
free to make such tariff laws as she
sate fit affecting Japan but lire latter
was forbidden by treaty from fixing '
dtttie above 5 per cent ad valorem.
On the other hand , the United
States secures many substantial ad-
vantages. The missionaries oho
make tip such a very large class in
Japan are guaranteed freedom of
worship and protection in that wonC
s hip. The main eoncessiou , however- ,
is that of article II , by which Japan
is onened tip to American commerce.

The best information obtainable
warrants placing the amount of booty i
secured by the robbers atS10 , 000. The ,
